Mark Benton was a gambler. When he was young, he won his first pot of gold through gambling. Then he set up a real estate company. After more than 20 years of development, it could be said to be second to none in the whole of Europe. Even Xiao Yunhai's manor villa was built by his company.
After he became successful, Mark Benton did not restrain his gambling. Instead, he became more aggressive and continued to wander around the major casinos.
This guy's gambling skills were good. He always won more than he lost. The World Cup gambling activities involved trillions of dollars. Naturally, it was very attractive to Mark Benton.
Until today, he had participated in the World Cup gambling for three consecutive years and won a total of 36 billion US dollars. This was the fourth year. In addition, David Steer was the person in charge of this gambling, so he prepared hundreds of billions of US dollars to bet. He wanted to win a big one.
Xiao Yun Hai had killed his nephew, and he himself was the richest man in the world. If he could win against him, not only would he earn money, he would also be able to avenge his nephew. It was simply killing two birds with one stone, so he hoped that the two of them could call Xiao Yun Hai over.
Wu Yong said, "Mr. Zhang and I are going to talk to Mr. Xiao tonight. We'll see if we can invite him over."
Mark Garcia, the boss of Whirlwind Technology, said, "I talked to Mr. Xiao once before. He made me suffer a big loss. I would like to have a bet with him to take revenge for what happened that day. "
The previous incident at Yazhou Electronics Technology Company had caused Mark Garcia to suffer heavy losses. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of Xiao Yunhai.
At seven o 'clock sharp, the game officially began. All the bets were over.
After David Steer answered the phone, he said to the crowd, "I just received news that the odds of Hua Xia: Portugal for this game are 1: 1.4. The bet reached 638 billion US dollars, breaking the previous record of the first game."
When the crowd heard this, they all nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Weikang got up and said, "Everyone, Mr. Zhang and I are going to watch the game. When we come back, maybe we can invite Mr. Xiao over. "
David Steer said, "Then we'll wait for the good news."
Wu Yong and Zhang Weikang left the hotel and rushed to the stadium.
At this moment, Xiao Yunhai was sitting on the bench, observing the situation.
Hua Xia's football team played defensive counterattack today. As it was the first game, both teams played a little conservatively. It wasn't until the second half that he finally let loose.
It had to be said that the Portuguese team was indeed a strong team in Europe. Whether it was individual skills, physical fitness, or team awareness, they were better than Hua Xia's football team by half a notch. The number of shots they took was also higher than Hua Xia's football team. However, they were not much of a threat and were all confiscated by Lu Hongwei.
At the 82nd minute of the game, Ning Xinghua seized an opportunity to counterattack and caused the opponent's defender to pull a foul in the penalty area. She scored a goal and won a valuable point for Hua Xia's team.
The Hua Xia fans shouted and screamed in the stadium as if it was the new year. In the end, they even sang the national anthem at the top of their lungs.
Xiao Yunhai and his teammates, who were sitting on the bench, also clapped their hands to celebrate.
At this critical juncture, a goal was scored. The Portuguese team was suddenly a little anxious. Whether it was the midfielders or the defenders, they all desperately pressed forward. Unfortunately, they did not win the goal and were almost caught off guard by Ning Xinghua. If it were not for the goalkeeper's excellent performance, the score on the field would have been changed to 2: 0.
In the end, the Hua Xia national football team won the first game with a score of 1: 0, which fully showed people that the ranking could only be used as a reference.
As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. Because of Xiao Yunhai, the reporters from Yunqing TV went directly to the locker room and interviewed several Hua Xia players who played well, especially Lu Hongwei, who extinguished more than ten attacks from the Portuguese team, and Ning Xinghua, who scored the only goal in the game.
Of course, Xiao Yunhai was also among the interviews. Most of them asked some irrelevant questions.
Xiao Yunhai changed his clothes and came out of the locker room. The female bodyguard who had been protecting Zhao Wanqing was waiting for him there.
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Wan Qing wants you to go to her VIP box. The boss of Haoyu Clothing, Zhang Weikang, and the boss of Great Wall Automobile, Wu Yong, are waiting for you there."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He nodded and said, "Okay. Let's go over now. "
Walking into the VIP box, Zhao Wanqing was in the middle of talking to two middle-aged men with extraordinary appearances.
When they saw Xiao Yunhai come in, the two men stood up and greeted him.
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with the two men. After a few polite words, he said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu, it seems that we are fated to meet. Your Haoyu Clothing and Great Wall Automobile are brands that I have endorsed before. When I first entered the entertainment industry, it helped me a lot. I'm still very grateful for it. "
Zhang Weikang chuckled, his eyes narrowed into slits. "Then, Mr. Xiao, have you ever thought of endorsing Haoyu Clothing and Great Wall Automobile again? From what I know, you only have two endorsements for Warcraft and Yun Yi Shopping Network, right? This doesn't match your superstar status. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's right. Besides, I'm not getting a single cent for these two endorsements. I've suffered a huge loss. "
Wu Yong said, "Warcraft has tens of millions of online users every day. The profit is at least two hundred million US dollars. Yun Yi Shopping Network is doing even better. It's opened all over the world and its members have just broken through six hundred million. It can be described as raking in money every day. If this is considered a loss, then we really don't know what to say. "
Zhang Weikang said, "Mr. Xiao, after years of development, Haoyu Clothing has the ability to enter the overseas market on a large scale. Your identity and status in the world's entertainment circle are second to none, so I sincerely hope that you can endorse Haoyu."
Wu Yong nodded and said, "The same goes for Great Wall Automobile. If you can do it with Miss Zhao, it'll be even better. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu, it's enough to show your sincerity to ask me to be Great Wall Automobile and Haoyu Clothing's spokesperson. I'm very willing to contribute to Hua Xia's global expansion. Sure, no problem. I agree. "
"That's great." Zhang Weikang and Wu Yong were delighted to hear that.
Xiao Yunhai had at least eight hundred million fans in the world. In addition to his status as the world's richest man, his influence was definitely greater than all the international superstars. With him as their spokesperson, it would be hard not to attract global attention.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What do you think, dear?"
Zhao Wanqing thought about it and said, "Great Wall Automobile is fine, but Haoyu Clothing is out of the question because I already have a clothing brand. According to the agreement, I can't take on any other clothing advertisements. "
Zhang Weikang chuckled bitterly. "That's too bad."
Wu Yong laughed and said, "Then wouldn't Great Wall Automobile be taking advantage of you? As for the advertisement fees … "
Xiao Yunhai waved and said, "How about this? Send someone to talk to Mo Yina directly. She's the general manager of Marvel Talent Agency and our manager for the time being. "
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing had yet to find a manager, so Mo Yina had to work harder.
